Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a building with an R-factor of 4, calculate the expected seismic forces if the base shear calculated is 120 kN.
💡 Hint: Remember to divide the base shear by the R-factor to find the modified force.
Question 2
Discuss the implications of underestimating the R-factor for a hospital in a seismic zone and suggest retrofitting measures.
💡 Hint: Think about how retrofitting can enhance energy absorption in existing buildings.
